DENVER—The percentage of Colorado students needing to take remedial courses at the state’s public colleges or universities after graduating high school has gone up.
The Colorado Commission on Higher Education released a report Tuesday on students who graduated from high school last spring and went to a public college in the state. According to The Denver Post (), the report showed 31.8 percent tested below college level and had to enroll in remedial courses that don’t count toward a degree, up from 28.6 percent the year before.
The subject in which students needed the most remedial education was mathematics.
However, universities appear to be retaining a majority of students in remedial courses. The University of Colorado Boulder retained almost 76 percent of students who take remedial courses.
